Crowns and Bridges

What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns can help restore a tooth that has been significantly damaged by decay, cracks, fractures, or previous dental treatment. Depending on your needs and the location of the tooth, your dentist may recommend different crown materials, including tooth-colored ceramic or other durable dental materials.

Crowns can help:

  • Protect weakened teeth
  • Restore tooth shape and function
  • Improve the appearance of damaged teeth
  • Support teeth after certain dental procedures
  • Provide a natural-looking restoration

For patients interested in natural-looking restorations, our metal-free restorations page provides more information about tooth-colored restorative options.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by connecting an artificial tooth to supporting teeth or dental implants. A traditional bridge typically uses neighboring teeth as support, while an implant-supported bridge uses dental implants for additional support.

Dental bridges may help:

  • Replace missing teeth
  • Restore chewing function
  • Improve the appearance of your smile
  • Help maintain the position of surrounding teeth
  • Support everyday oral function

Your dentist will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and jawbone to determine which type of bridge may be appropriate.

Question About Crowns and Bridges?

(209) 207-7777

Dental Crowns vs. Dental Bridges

Although both are restorative treatments, crowns and bridges serve different purposes.

Dental crowns are generally used to restore and protect an individual damaged or weakened tooth.

Dental bridges are designed to replace one or more missing teeth by using surrounding teeth or dental implants for support.

If you are missing only one tooth, a single tooth implant may also be an option depending on your oral health and treatment goals.

What Is the Crowns and Bridges Process?

Your treatment will be customized according to your dental needs. The process may include:

1. Dental Examination

We evaluate the affected tooth or missing-tooth area, surrounding teeth, gums, and bite.

2. Treatment Planning

We discuss suitable restoration options and select the appropriate material based on the location and condition of your teeth.

3. Tooth Preparation

For a crown or traditional bridge, the supporting tooth or teeth may need to be carefully prepared to create space for the restoration.

4. Impressions or Digital Scans

Detailed impressions or digital information are used to create a restoration that fits your smile and bite.

5. Final Restoration

A temporary restoration may be used while your permanent crown or bridge is being prepared. Once completed, the final restoration is checked and adjusted for fit and comfort. The number of appointments and treatment time can vary depending on the complexity of your case.

Are Crowns or Bridges Right for You?

Crowns and bridges may be appropriate for patients with damaged, weakened, or missing teeth. Your dentist will consider:

  • The condition of your teeth
  • Gum health
  • Jawbone and supporting structures
  • Your bite
  • Number and location of missing teeth
  • Overall oral health
  • Your treatment goals

If several or all teeth are missing, dentures may be another tooth replacement option. For patients who need broader restorative care, our restorative dentistry services provide additional treatment options.
